After almost a year’s hiatus, I am finally
back. I actually kinda missed writing about beauty and fashion schtuff. This is
something that really gets me excited and I am so glad to be back and running….or
rather writing!
I am going to start off with recent hair
products that I have really been enjoying these past couple of months. In
December 2014, I took the plunge and decided to colour my hair a little
lighter. I opted for balayage because I wanted my roots to be still dark but
wanted my ends to be a little lighter. Although I totally fell in love with the
look and style, the ends looked really dry and brittle. I chopped a couple of
inches off my hair this past month hoping for a healthy appearance. We are
getting there slowly and steadily. Below are the products I have been LOVING
recently.
Lets talk hair type. My hair is really oily
at the roots (I cannot go more than two days without washing it!), my ends are
dry and my hair is wavy and frizzy! Talk about a living hell. But luckily I
have found a few products that I have been using to tame the beast.
1
SHAMPOO:
Herbal Essences
Rejuvenating Shampoo (~ CAD$ 5.00) AND Bumble and
Bumble Sunday Shampoo (CAD$ 25.50)
I use the Herbal Essences twice a week because it’s moisturizing and
doesn’t dry out my hair. I use the B&B once a week (on Wednesdays, NOT on
Sundays – Scandalous! I know) for a deep clean. Your hair will feel squeaky
clean (almost rubbery, I don’t know if that’s a good thing), so make sure to
follow up with a nourishing conditioner.

CONDITIONER:
OXG Renewing
Argan Oil of Morocco Conditioner (~ CAD$ 10.00)
I could never find anything moisturizing enough. This
conditioner is nice and thick. I apply this from the mid-length of the hair to
the ends and comb through with a wide toothcomb to remove the tangles. I leave the
conditioner on for about 5 mins and then rinse off.
3 MOROCCAN OIL:
Moroccan Oil
Treatment -100ml (CAD$ 47.00)
I strictly use this product only on my ends. This tends
to get greasy if you apply it to the roots. I wait until my hair is about 50%
dry and use only one pump and run this through my ends. It makes my hair all
soft and shiny!
4 HAIR MIST:
Bumble and
Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Primer (CAD$ 29.50)
I use this after I towel dry my hair. I was initially
skeptical because products like these tend to way my hair down, BUT…it didn’t!
It is a very light spray that can also be used as a heat protectant. A couple
of spritz and you are good to go. Plus, it smells delicious.
5 DRY SHAMPOO:
Batiste XXL Volume
– Big and Bouncy (CAD$ 8.99)
I use this on second day hair for texture and soak up the oils from
the roots. This gives incredible volume and oomph to my hair. Although it does
spray on the hair with a white mist, just make sure to massage the product
really well into the scalp. A little goes a long way, so make sure to use this
sparingly.
So thats pretty much it for this post! There will be more to follow.
Much Love,
